Once he had half believed that himself, but now he could not. Once only had the perfect life been focused in a human body. He had not returned. Why should we? The Word now taught and healed, fought and suffered, through the yielded wills of other men.

Please, God,' Ruth would pray, 'don't let me be competitive. Let me realize what a privilege it is to study.
